No, I don't mean the Hur'q, but actual bugs. And to be honest, it belongs in the general discussion coz I believe that a lot of people are fed up with it that those bugs are spoiling the immergion into Star Trek and the multitude of them is way over the top.
For example, I just did the end mission of the Jem'Hadar arc and guess what, after the boring round of talking to each personality that is included in that arc, it doesn't complete at all, although I get the notice that this mission has been completed. Instead, I am back at the Hur'q Dreadnought. No need to say that I am not in the mood to restart the mission at that point after a half hour of button bashing, in the hope that the mission will finish.
Another example is the addition of Garak in the conference room at the start of the Gamma Arc. Nothing against it, but c'mon, the moment Garak start his part of the conversation, it gets spoiled by the old audio file that is running over Garaks audio.
And it keeps on piling up, from clipping uniforms of NPC's over to frankly to be said BAD ANIMATION of mouths to gaps in heads and so on.
I wonder, ain't it time to slowly switch over to a new engine for the game ? You can repair and add on to an old car engine whatever you want, but at a certain point it becomes useless and the engine is no longer rescuable.
Nor should we be accepting anylonger the "easy" excuse of "it's software, so it can be bugged". To use the same car anology, when a car technician is keep on repairing the same engine over and over again but the next week that same engine returns to the shop with another defect and at the end of the road it's still not spinning like a kitten, we should assume that either the engine is not repairable or not capable to function with extra add ons. There is nothing wrong with admitting that and find a engine replacement or a total new one.
I believe it's time for a serious overhaul of the game and it's mechanics before there should be even talk about a new season. It's no longer an issue of willing but rather a neccesity before it brakes down.
These are only my two cents.

See: FCT sticky thread.
If you have a spare $10 million to donate to Cryptic for this project, go ahead.
Would a new engine be nice? Sure, of course. So would 24 new story episodes per year, and getting voice acting from all of the Captains while they're still with us.
Cryptic is a small company, STO is a small MMO, and revenue is modest compared to WoW, Fortnite, Overwatch.
Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.
Ever heard of the business quote: "If you wanna make money, you need to invest money"
My character Tsin'xing
But all of us love fixes and boosts, besides new content.
was wondering when you'd surface and attempt to derail the thread
